New tyre ratings from November 2012

The grip is a good idea.

But mpg is down to the driver and conditions, tyres don't really change it in my experience more than 1 or 2 mpg average.

And who knows what 70db sounds like?

It's theoretically a good idea, just not sure its as useful as it seems.

Wrong Tom. When the original dunlops on the skoda wore out, they put on some Eco continentals and they have made about a 5-7mpg difference and a big notice on a full tank. Noiser though and as soft as shite round corners
